IKE went easy and gay-juSt the way
with stocks put in not to stay. For
here are calcoes, muslns and other
nice goods, and mantles and furs and
nubias and hoods; and ginghams,
silks and alpacas to suit all tastes, aud
corsets so sweet to fit pretty waists.
Again in the cold we are out-we're
Fastening toreach the end of urroute
but stop, here's Zcller, the barber,
very next pop. who keeps what we
call nice little shop. Though not Il
kid he's fine shaver; nor is he II
drummer, yet hIs palaver is pleasing
to the ear as his scissors to your hai1,
and his razor to the rugged, the beard
and fair.
Not far below--a little down street,
we stepped in to comfort our hands and
our feet. After warming we started
to go, when Chambers very modestly
said no, no. The oysters are frying,
you surely must stay, for they're finer
than common to-day. We tarrled then
just for awhile, to test the bivalves
cooked q Ia best style. After we left
we thought what pity, 1t is that John
does not live in a big city. His oysters
are so good, his bread and his meat,
and everything else so trim and so
neat.
Mrs. Jandorf is near by with goods
to suit all-with clothing Cat cost for
short and for tall fuery for the rich
and kerseys for the poor, and other
things suitable what need anyone
more
Then Spill with confectionery and
toys, and hundred nice things for
the girls and the boys. His store is
packed above and below, and his no.
tions for Christmas make quite big
show.
Our course still downward, we step
in the shoe store, of Mrs. Hartman who
has all styles in the line by the score
such As boots, shoes, hats and caps-of
all sizes, too, to fit all the chaps.
And here is Marx Wineland, land
sakes alive. his store looks tor all the
world like a beehive. Here are notions
and clothing, blankets and hose, and
umbrellas to protect you from the rain
and from SHOWS canes, valises,
satchels and trunks, and satisfaction
generally in good solid chunks.
A little below Fred. Johnson beats
tin into pans-into roofing and spout
ing, buckets and cans; into utensils
to save cooks and housekeepers pain,
and sheets to keep out the snow and
the rain.
On the opposite side is the st. Cloud
hotel, kept by Lynch so nicely, so neat
ly and we'll. Besides oysters his tables
are ladened with chicken and meat,
and turkeys and sausage and pigs feet.
Though he begged and beseeched us
to tarry, we hied further up to look in
at Harry-whO, as everybody knows,
takes great pride in cutting neat-ftting
clothes. He's always ready, too, to
baste, sew or make stitches-anything
to order from IL necktie to breeches.
Onward and upward-here's Nickel's
new store, filing with new goods and
plenty things more, i'll the parlor and
chamber furnishing line furniture
common and furniture fine. He wants
all to call AT the earliest day-he's pre-
pared to please you in every way. He
wants you in life to come early and
often, and when at last you must die
he will bring you nice coffin.
"Say, step in-I want to see you
'pon honor" we looked in and saw it
was George Conner, who has books of
all kinds for large and for small, and
some that I'm sure would likely please
all and paper and pens, and notions
so rare, and things for the children
you can see them all there.
Just above we determined to stop by
the way, and ask d. j. Betz the time
| VI llc udyy WHCH We saw III HIS CttScS
the watches and rings, and bracelets,
pins and other nice things.
Then here's the office domestic
the light running machine, that does
all the sewing SO nicely, | ween. We
| listened moment to the agents dulcet
tones, and bade good evening to Messrs.
Mum & Jones.
We hurried on and stopped at Joe
Timmens, who was brsily waiting on
some beautiful wimmens." He was
light-hearted, frolicsome and gay, for
Joe had done good business that day
But falling fast were the shades of
night. rs we glided on and looked in
at ColoAel Wright, who never in his
life had happier looked. as he pored
over the goods that had been iudicious-
ly 'booked."
Down here we come to Percy's drug
store, the depot for Hay Fever remedy
and IL hundred drugs more. Here are
lamps of all sizes, and chimneys and
wicks, and score and more of nice
little tricks.
